I am not a fan of war - I despise the military industrial complex and the captured politicians enriched by the defense contractors - but there is real truth (and history) in this post by Robert Malone. Malone doesn't just have a single lane nowadays. He was huge (and right) about the vaccines, but the resultant backlash also sent him down the censorship/nudge/Orwelian rabbit hole, homesteading, etc. "Death to America" is not a casual turn of phrase - and the actions over decades have not been subtle or nuanced. image
Incredibly long - this is actually the 2nd part of a 2-part post by el gato malo - but again resonates with how I feel about my values...and how they are perceived by many that have been CONDITIONED to think of me as hateful, fascist, etc. For what are conservative values, and - other than my faith - are "strong convictions, loosely held" and open for discussion. image
Other approaches have failed miserably - I'm willing to let this one run a bit more. Which is how I feel about some of the economic theory and /market/budget/treasury decisions this administration is making. ===== President Trump is not a hardened ideologue, though he is a fierce competitor, and he understands what’s at stake in our competition with China. And judging by the actions of his second term in office, his uniquely Trumpian foreign policy doctrine is making progress in adding more players to America’s team, while simultaneously isolating and weakening antagonists. This pragmatic POTUS is not letting perfect become the enemy of good. =====
I oppose getting into foreign wars - I do not want US taxpayers to foot the bill to battle every authoritarian regime. I want to focus on the issues we have here in the US. I also do not like the profiteering by "the few" (that include members of Congress) at the expense of US taxpayers and US/foreign countries' lives. However, I also detest known human rights violations that include executions and wanton death. So I'm a little conflicted with these precision strikes that can lead to regime change. However, without the right (and non-corrupt) opposition leaders in place to assume interim leadership until fair elections, the new regime could be worse than the previous regime. Regardless, these protests are more about hating Trump than it is caring for humanity or sovereignty. image
Lowest since 1966? Awesome...and yet running a leaner, more efficient (less corrupt?) government results in a lower GDP. Which then becomes a Democrat/MSM talking point. Like another thread I saw where a leftist blames Trump for her higher insurance costs - that are a direct result of the ACA/Obamacare. image
Winning…deport illegals, pass the SAVE Act, and at least let the voice of the real American citizens determine their leadership based upon whether they think their values (and wealth/economic prosperity) are appropriately represented. Versus the bought-and-paid-for voters through all amounts of voter fraud and economic scams. Of course, can also get all of these unemployed college grads - who chose worthless degrees WHILE getting indoctrinated and feeling entitled - to vote socialism.
